Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>general (more info?)

We have just done a major upgrade of approx 5000 workstations to XP SP2. The
domain is single and mixed 2000/2003 dc and file servers. We use GPO to
redirect my documents and desktop. We use the home directory of H to repoint
Users are starting to say that randomly the H drive is disappering. Use of
the net use command has not pointed to anything and there are no reports in
the eventvwr on the host or server to indicate a problem. I have searched
through google and see that this is a major problem. I would like to know if
anyone has any idea on how to correct this issue. It is not happening to
everyone and we have a stadard deployed image here. I have looked at and
implemented all KB articles concerning the red X disconnect even though that
was not the issue.

If you don't get answers here you might want to try posting to a networking
newsgroup. This ng is predominately populated by XP consumer users.
